"Persephone is the Goddess of Spring in title only. Since she was a little girl, flowers have only shriveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hoped to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist. All of that changes when she sits down in a forbidden nightclub to play a hand of cards with a hypnotic and mysterious stranger.

As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows-a love that is both captivating and forbidden"--

The six-year-old is a complex child, entirelynbsp;nbsp;different from the five-year-old. Though many of thenbsp;nbsp;changes are for the good -- Six is growing morenbsp;nbsp;mature, more independent, more daring andnbsp;nbsp;adventurous -- this is not necessarily an easy time for thenbsp;nbsp;little girl or boy. Relationships with mothers arenbsp;nbsp;troubled -- most of the time Six adores mother,nbsp;nbsp;but whenever things go wrong, it's her fault. Itnbsp;nbsp;used to be, at Five, that she was the center of thenbsp;nbsp;child's universe; now, the child is the center ofnbsp;nbsp;his own universe.

Parents need the expertnbsp;nbsp;advice of Drs. Ames and Ilg during this difficultnbsp;nbsp;year, to explain parent-child relations,nbsp;nbsp;friendships with peers, what six-year-olds excel at, hownbsp;nbsp;they see the world, what it feels like to benbsp;nbsp;entering the first grade. Children need patience andnbsp;nbsp;understanding to help make this transition easier.

The acclaimed debut novel by the author of Little Fires Everywhere. “A taut tale of ever deepening and quickening suspense.” —O, the Oprah Magazine “Explosive . . . Both a propulsive mystery and a profound examination of a mixed-race family.” —Entertainment Weekly “Lydia is dead.

Lydia is the favorite child of Marilyn and James Lee, and her parents are determined that she will fulfill the dreams they were unable to pursue. But when Lydia’s body is found in the local lake, the delicate balancing act that has been keeping the Lee family together is destroyed, tumbling them into chaos. A profoundly moving story of family, secrets, and longing, Everything I Never Told You is both a gripping page-turner and a sensitive family portrait, uncovering the ways in which mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and husbands and wives struggle, all their lives, to understand one another.
